The Pictures are from Poland not Germany
Hey, these second material is entitled "Russian Drive on Berlin", but You know these are pictures from liberation of Poland, because on the way of Soviet Army to Berlin was Poland. It shows soviet offensive from Vistula to Oder and fighting over polish cities Warsaw and Poznan in January and February 1945. I know that... because I'm from Poland :-)

Ordinary, Then Grisly, Then Ordinary
Newsreel from 1945 featuring a story about Argentine being admitted to the United Nations. This is fairly dull, however the next story, about the Russian takeover of Berlin is grisly, as it shows dead Germans in the streets, townspeople attacking Nazi prisoners, Nazi torture devices, and corpses from a death camp. This is historically important, but hard to watch. Also included is a straightforward story about the Navy shooting down Japanese airplanes.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: N/A. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
